"I have appreciated this offering so much. It really has helped me to take care of myself and slow things down when I might have had a bigger reaction before there is more of an awareness when I might have a big reaction. I know this awareness of presence will help me to change and become more authentic "me". Thank-you!"

"Awesome workshop! Simple, clear, concrete, powerful and doable exercises are presented and practiced, both in class and outside of class that are helping me to gain a more powerful presence in life, as well as helping me to clarify my purpose and direction in life."
"Niko is deeply grounded and professional as a somatic coach. She supported me through a process while I was making important decisions in my life. Her caring, wise and insightful support allowed me to safely explore my options as well as challenge old habits which prevented me from moving forward. I felt completely confident in Niko's ability to work with me in the moment, as well as to offer me ideas in other situations and life patterns. Niko is an incredibly gifted and compassionate guide and works intuitively with each person to approach solutions applicable to their own situations"

"Niko’s somatic coaching was an eye opening technique that shifted my struggles through extreme personal life challenges. Her kindness, patience, and gentleness provided a supportive foundation as she worked with me using the somatic coaching process. My life has changed drastically for the better since working with Niko. I did the work to improve my life, but Niko’s coaching was pivotal in navigating my first steps to true transformation. I can’t thank her enough!" KT |
"We all have blind spots, especially when it comes to judging one's own potential, and giving fair assessment of the roadblocks we put up for ourselves. Were mine getting in the way of me realizing my greatest potential in my work? Through somatic coaching, Niko gave me tools for exploring my intentions for my career path, and she taught me practices for keeping that path cleared of self-defeating mind-sets, and for leveraging my own strengths towards attaining my goals. Furthermore, she made the process fun and illuminating. Thanks, Niko, for the wisdom and experience you bring! It's like the warm rain that helps the bud to flower" GP

"When a routine mammogram identified breast cancer, one of my earliest reactions was shock that my body that I had cared for so well (ok, not perfectly but darn well) had failed me, even turned on me. Many decisions followed including accepting surgery, chemotherapy and radiation but the most important decision began with a call to Niko. Something like, “I have breast cancer, and I need to work with you now!” On some level, I knew the cancer was a wake -up call from my body and I had better heed the message.
I could never have imagined the places my work with Niko would take me in the next year. Through tears, laughter, bodywork and conversation, somatic coaching has been the guide moving me to hear the wisdom of my body. Niko’s gentle but firm coaching keeping me focused and grounded while allowing me the freedom to imagine the woman I am becoming. Somatic coaching with Niko has transformed a tough wake-up call into an extraordinary journey of discovery". EP
